Three Pittsburg Chaps Tackle Jack KinE
and Get Decorated.
Last evening Officer Wcst walked into
tbs city building in charge OF two young
chaps who were amusing objects. They
were both quite drunk and one had his face
painted with blood, and his nose
looked "a if some one had
struck him and bent it upwards The other
had big bump on his cheek near the eye
from which a small stream Of blood
trickled. Presently q third appeared ct
the door who was drunken than the others.
but apparently the only damage he had
received was 10 his Dat which was caved in.
lie laughed 1t the other two then sat down
on a table ard wet TO sleep.
The men stated that Jack King had
slugged them and they didn't seem TO
blame him bit, one Of them saying that
all them ought to be fined 50 apiece for
coming of as they did At first they
wanted to have Jack arrested, then changed
their minds, but OffiCsr West placed them in
the cooler to await until King could be
arrested. A newspaper man met the
pugilist shortly afterwards and told b!p Of
the state OF things and King went to the
City Building and gave himself up. II
seems that the three men, whose names are
John Miller, Ed. Harrison and sam Co.'s.
went into Scott Richards saloon, where
came across King, whom they did not
know.
They began ''mOnkeying' with him and
struck him IN the face several times. Jack
at last got tired Of their fun and let hy,
knocking all three down before he quit.
Those who saw the fun say that King mad
just provocation. The chaps, who are
from Pittsburg, we're rather surprised at
the wonderful tumbling they did, and
seemed glad il wasn't worse. The case
will be aired in Police Court this morn

The state Line RAILROAD.

A largS number of subscription books
have been distributed by the Wheeling,
wellsbuIg and State Line Railroad Com

'lSecODd-The residue Of said subscrip-
ton shall become due and payable only
upon the completion Of track, by the lay
ing of the iron or steel rails continuously,
from a point at or near the City OF Wheel

This road il not, az il generally sup
posed, II mere local line, extending but

with its continuation via the Huntington
lines west through Kentucky to Coyng

A good deal more might be said Of the
hopes and aims of the folks who are en-
deavoring to lit the W, w. & s. l. line
from the somewhat unsatisfactory state Of
"a road on paper" 10 something a little
more substantial, but the time has hardly

OVER THE RIVER FIRE.
Phillip Ellis Residence Burned At Tiltou


Phillip Ellis Residence Burned At Tilton'
Vile, Ohio.
At eight o'clock yesterday morning the
house of Phillip Ellis, at Tiltonville, Ohio,
was burned TO the ground. The fire origi'
mated in a clothes press alongside of the
chimney on the first floor, and consumed
the building entirely in few minutes.
1t is supposed that the mortar became
loosened in the chimney, allowing the
flames to get at the woodwork. The main
part of the house was built about twenty
years ago, but an addition, it being the
part where the fire originated, was added
to the building about two years ago. A
part of the furniture was saved by the
strenuous efforts Of neighbOra, but nearly
everything was consumed. The loss will
amount to 81, 500, with no insurance. Mr..
Ellis stated that his property had been
insured up till few months ago when the
policy expired, which he failed to renew.
